A recent visitor to Flint Hill
informs the reporter that work
on the Flint Hill Baptist church
is progressing favorably, the
stone foundation having been
completed and the brick work
on the main walls commenced,
The new church, is to be built
just to the north side of the old
church. As stated, the founda
tions are of stone and the walls
will be of pressed brick. The
interior of the church and its
furnishings will be of the very
latest designs, and when com
pleted we are told will be one of
the handsomest country
churches in this section. The
church building is to cost $6,000.
The cemetery at Flint Hill,

Mr. Henry Wilds was killed
on Mr. H. E. Johnson's place
six miles northeast of Yorkville
last Tuesday by being' crushed
unper a tree. Mr. Wilds and
other laborers were engaged in
felling trees, for lumber. In
felling a large tree it became
entangled in the upper branches
in such a way that the trunk
was twisted out of what would
have seemed its natural course.
The butt of the tree struck Mr.
Wilds in the face and knocked
him down. He fell under the
tree and it came down across his
stomach. He lived about an
hour afterward. Mr. Wilds was
about forty years of age, and
m w a
was a memoer ot union cnurcn.
He had no family. The inter
ment took place at St. Paul
Wednesday.

One of the most distressing
affairs in the historv of this
county occured Tuesday after
noon at the home of .Mr. Wade
Elliotte, who lives about two
miles from Stice, when little
Desten Borders, the 11-year old
son of Mr, and Mrs. John
"Bunk" Borders was shot and
probably fatally wounded by
bis little friend and playmate,
George Elliotte. The wounded
boy gave this account of bow it
happened, He said he and
young Elliott, who is about two
years bis senioi, went into the
house, and had been in there
only a few minutes when his
companion picking up a double-
barrel shot gun said, "look out
I am going to shoot you," at the
same time raising the gun to his i
shoulder. Young Elliott ver-
ision is, that he was playing
with the gun and started to put
it down when it, in some un
accountable way was discharged.
ine awlulness ot the tragedy is
bard to realize. It cannot be
conceived that the author had
any idea of shooting his little
companion. Information has
just been received to the effect
that the brave little lad is dead,
the end coming yesterday.

Slashed Cow With Razor.
An inhumane and dastardly
deed was committed at the Clara
Mill Friday night when some un
known miscreant brutally slash
ed up a good milch cow belong
ing to Mr. W. W. Church, who
lives in one of the mill houses
near the Union road. The deed
was evidently done with a very
sharp instrument, presumadly a
razor, as the loose hairs were cut
in two. The gash was two and
a half feet long and ranged from
theanimal's side towards its
shoulder. In one place the cow
was cut almost to the hollow..
Mr. Church has no idea who
committed the- crime but says
he is willing to pay any amount
up to the full value of the cow
to secure the punishment of the
person who commited the deed.

Southerners who espoused the
Union cause during civil war.
After the establishment of peace
he was rewarded for his fidelity
by being made Provisiona
Governor of his State. At the
time of secession, however, he
was a member of the Alabama
Legislature, and to the indigna
tion of his Southern friends
who had elected ; him to office
he voted against secession.
Soon afterward he wrote to
bis wiie that as his snpply ot
shirts was exhausted, he desired
ber to send him more as soon as
possible. Mrs. Parsons, a zeal

son paid the Gazette a pleasant call.
He is one of the farmers who believe
in raising all the corn and wheat and
other farm products they need and
then putting their surplus time and
land in cotton, instead of
making the latter the leading pro
duct and leaving the necessaries to
be made aide issaes. ' ' lie takes the
view which seems to . ns the. proper
one, that it does not pay a fanner to
trot all his land in cotton, even when
the price is good and then be forced
to buy his corn and other products
which he could raise. .
